A few days since a well-known negro

a check for that amount, which was

to grow larger, and finally, when TWEEN

Microscopic Possibilities.

Perhaps the most wonderful thing
that has been discovered Of late is the
new glass which has just been made in
Sweden, differing from ordinary glass
in its extraordinary retroactive power.
Our common glass contains only six
substances. while this Swedish glass
consists Of fourteen, the most impor-
tant clements being phosphorus and
boron. which are not found in any
other glass. The revolution which
this new refractor is destined to make
is almost inconceivable, if it is true, rs
is positively alleged, that. while the
highest power Of m old-fashioned
microscopic lens reveals only the one-
four-hundred -thousandth part of an
inch. this new glass will enable us to
distinguish ne-two-hundred and four
million-seven-hund d-thousandth part
of an inch. 1t makes ones head ache
to write these figures; and who can
tell what worlds within worlds may
not be discovered with such an instru-
ment as this. -Something to Read.

Origin Of the Term "Gringo."

People often wonder and ask why the
Mexican calls the American "Grin-

can be explained much easier than why
the American calls the Mexican a
..Greaser." When the Americans went
to war with Mexico. a melody. every
verse of which ended with Green

popular. 1t pleased almost every
body's fancy, and was sung BY old and
young. While In camp the soldiers
would sing it constantly. and all the
Mexicans could hear was Green grows
the rushcs. OH They Immediately
began to call the American soldiers by
the first two words, rs it sounded to
them, ''grin-goes.' They made it into
one word, by which they will cverknow
